Tamarac's city Web site goes multilingual

Tamarac residents can now read information in Spanish on how to pay their water bill, or read in Japanese the job openings at City Hall.

The city has added a language translation function on its Web site, www.tamarac.org, so that any page can quickly be translated to 12 languages, including French, German and Italian.

Viewers click on the appropriate flag on the bottom of the home page.

The new feature is "helping us provide greater service to a growing and changing community," said city spokesman Andy Berns. "Tamarac is committed to providing programs and services that meet the needs of an increasingly diverse community."
